Index of Subjects Hi Dave... CSuite _does_ have a restriction on telnetting to non-standard ports. In the past this was implimented for resource and security reasons. Telnet to some ports can be used to attack system security... and there has been at times concerns about the cost benefit of allowing this type of connection restricted to 'public' services.... The 'tear down the walls' crowd would probably like to see us lift the restriction entirely but the question has never been fully discussed (technical, board, other CSuite sites, etc...). In most instances, users who were determined to access these services have found another way to do so... and it could be argued that this has improved their computer skills... (a boy named Sue approach...;-). david potter On Wed, 30 Jun 1999, Dave Wile wrote: > Hello, this is a question regarding telnetting to a site with a port number behind it. We have a user at Cobequidnet.ns.ca who is attempting to telnet to the following site: telnet://tapestries.fur.com:2069 > If you just telnet like normal you have no problem but when you add the port number at the end, the program does not allow this, is this disabled in the csuite program for a reason or is it just something that we are missing at Cobequidnet that does not allow this? If there is not a reason for disabling this how do we enable telnetting to specific ports? > Thanks >
